The Flex Operations Steps tab displays the switching steps that have been recorded and linked to the event. These steps will continue to be displayed in the event's Steps tab up until you create an Emergency switching sheet for the event. When an Emergency switching sheet is created, the steps will be moved to that sheet.

When this Steps tab is first selected for an event, any steps linked to that event will be pulled from the Miscellaneous Log to this Steps list.

Steps can be cut/copied from other sheets and pasted into this Steps list; steps can be cut/ copied form this Steps list and pasted into other sheets as well. Steps cannot be cut/copied from one event's Steps list and pasted into another event's Steps list. For pasting of steps to work, the source tool or sheet has to be loaded. To work around this limitation, the steps can be sent to the Miscellaneous Log and then later cut and pasted into a different event's Steps list.

When the Steps tab is selected, additional buttons are displayed in the toolbar and Actions menu for actions that you can perform. If a button is grayed, then that action is not currently permitted.

Most toolbar actions are also available through a context menu that is displayed when you right-click a step row. The context menu contains some options that do not appear on the toolbar.

Refer to the Using the Steps Tab on page 3-25 for the list of columns available in the Steps table.

The Crews List on the event’s Steps tab functions the same as the Crews List on a switching sheet’s Steps tab, but only has the Select Crew..., Update Instructed To in Steps, and Remove Crew actions accessible through the context menu. See Crews List on page 11-39 for more details.
